There was a highly educated class &mong them,sper- fectly capable of conducting a government and of governing themselves. A govern- ment by strangers must fail in many re- spects Mr. Shatroth went over a list of the salarfes paid to the American officials in the Philippines to show the interests of the poor natives who paid the taxes Mr. Shafroth declared that the spirit of independence and liberty lived in the Fil- tpino a8 well as the American and that un- | til the Filipinos were free the situation | could not he satistactory to them or to us. | Mr. De Armond of Missourl, who also has | recently roturned from the Philippines, | aroused much enthusfasm on the demo- cratie side by a denunciation of the pend- ing measure and of the entire policy of the administration. He declared that the bill proposed legis- lating after the manner of the empire. It disregarded the rights of the Filipinos as well a8 the American representatives. It was legislation by the War department, legislation by alien for alien. He declared the pecessity of taking the islands or of keeping them out (democratic applause) “We acquired them in folly," sald he, ot ugs dispose of them in wisdom. Almost every man In the islands longs for inde- pendence and liberty. How long will it be beforo auother Insurrection breaks out? ‘Who can tell how many of our youth it will lay away Iu country churchyards, how many dollars of extra levy it will cost the people?

Mr. Robertson of Louislana, a member of the ways and means committee, sald he would vote for the bill. The failure of this bill, he sald, In effect would mean fi trade with the islands, and he was opposed to bringlog the sugar and rice planters of | Loulslana into free competition with the | sugar and rico producers of the Philip- | pines. This bill would be a motice to the Fllipino people that they never could hope for equal rights with the American citizon | and must prepare for independence.

Plerrn Criticines Central Hoard, Today Mr. Plerra sent another letter to Secretary Root, asking a reconsideration of the declsion by the secretary. Mr. Piorra mcites the omission to post the list of the largest taxpayers referred to in his previous Jetter (o the secretary and declares the proposal prayed for need not prolong the American occupation as suggested by the secretary. The central beard of scrutiny be says, ls a most original creation and no similar elec tion orgaiization has ever existed anywhere. He requests that an equal number of mem- bers representing the other political didate be added to the board and that a similar measure be adopted in connection with the provincial boards, in which Gen- eral Maso has no representative. Mr. Plerra says he is not here especially to plead the cause of General Maso or any political party. The outcome of the elec- tion, as things now stand, he asserts, will not be the stable government which the United States wishes to seo established in Cuba, It will be the beginning of serlous disturbances.

Schwab as to organized labor, sald that unfonism was not a menace, but an instru- ment of peace and good and was within the law and was a strong influence toward the matntenange of the republic. “We are taking down the barriers” he sald, “that have seemed to separate us. We are priv- tieged to touch eibows here and exchange ideas and I feel sure that good will come of it. he trouble In the past has been that we have not understood one another. There can be no capital without labor and the man who does the work and the man who manipulates the capital should realize thelr dependence upon one another. The great leader of capital who spoke terday would, have littla capital to manipulate but for the work of the men in the fur- naces and the mines. That is the fact that I ask capital to remember.” Will Resist Oppression. Mr. Sargent said the firemen had long since adopted the policy of reasoning with thefr employers and educating their own men to a point of intelligence a8 to (he rights ‘of both themselves and their em- ployers, They made no sacrifice of their rights or manhood. “But," he added, “they reserved the right to resist oppression, to crush wrong, where reason did not pr vall.” He sald that when labor and cap- ital would fairly and reasonably meet one another industrial disorder would be be honorable Wohnve the finest line of Focketbooks and Card Cases in the city.
